If you are like me, then the first thing you do when you wake up every morning is to comb the web for breaking news stories about the Mets. To help, I have 2 websites for you that are a nice place to start.
First, you can read different newspaper stories which are culled from the usual suspects and contain stories exclusively about the Mets.
Second, for trade rumors, you can find about every team or simply click on the Mets link for purely Met rumors. The rumors are usually newspaper articles or websites.
This is why the web was created, so that you no longer have to buy or read several newspapers. You can simply go to one website and cherry pick the stories you want on strictly the subject you want to read about.

The Mets failed to land Billy Wagner as he was acquired by the Phillies today for Brandon Duckworth and a couple of prospects. This failure portends very poorly for the balance of the post season, as Duquette has stated that one of his main goals is acquiring a closer. Of course, there is no logic behind such statement, as the last thing a last place team needs is a stopper. To waste a valuable portion of your budget on a luxury is plainly idiotic. But that is what we are going to get. A mediocre and overpriced closer who will be wholly unnecessasry. Jose Mesa anyone??
Finally some good news. Perhaps it was best that Lou Pinella did not end up as the Mets' manager after the 2002 season. Indeed, his talent evaluation skills seem to be as wretched as most in the Mets' organization. On second thought, he would have fit right in with the Mets, as has the moribund moron, Art Howe.
Lou Pinella apparently thinks its a good idea for the Devil Rays to acquire Tino Martinez. His fractured reasoning has to do with Tino's leadership skills, as if that is the reason that the Devil Rays keep finishing in last place. Their great need for leadership. Maybe Pinella should look to himself on that score? After all, he is the appointed leader of the team.
When the Mets finally decide to get a real manager, hopefully they won't turn their attention to Lou Pinella.

We're back! Twelve (12) years ago we were an alternative to the Mets' own Pravda, Inspide Pitch. As such, we were free to citcize with unabashed frankness and honesty. Now more than a decade later, things have changed, and for the better. There are a whole host of independent voices who truthfully recite the state of affairs with the team. However, they are not TMN and, alas, they have left a void. So here we are, back again to fill that void. So, add a link because you will be coming back often. We're back, and now we're strictly online and we're free. See you soon.
